97 Points | Double Gold “Lush ripe nose. Bacon spices, and juicy.” Exceptional aromas of Royal Anne cherry, anise, and toasted almond precede a palate rich in flavors of black currant preserves, Italian plum, and cinnamon stick. Silky tannins linger long into the finish with notes of raspberry, black tea leaf, and dark cocoa. Balanced and full-bodied, this Zinfandel makes the perfect pairing for a hearty charbroiled hamburger with all the fixings or Tagliatelle tossed with slow-roasted wild mushrooms.
